Google SketchUp

I recently started playing with Google's SketchUp, and I think I'm addicted... I've never done any CAD, but this little program (40MB alltogether) is just plain old fun.
There are a bunch of excellent quick tutorials online, and here are some of the more advanced examples this little thingy can do.

I've been playing with it for ample hours, and here's the result (requires SketchUp to view - it's a model of our house, and I think it's pretty much correctly scaled...).

Anyone else been playing with it/interested in doing so?

Thanks for the link... I heard about this and was interested but then I didnt have the link and forgot about it... but im downloading it now! I cant even draw for crap but this looks interesting!

edit/ im watching the tuts now and btw Nice House Neg :D

Lol... I can't draw (at all!) either, but this thing is just fun! I watched the first tutorial (which lasts 5 minutes or so), and next thing I know I was doing some semi-professional-looking (read: it kinda looks like the real thing) models.

Semi-Professional!!!! hahaha


Awesome link, and for the size of the prog. awesome! I feel useful again.


We should compare our work. Mine is less than semi-pro so far, but give me a few more hours with it.

I've been using this program since google started releasing it for free. :)

Still haven't got the hang of it, hell my square boxes look like road kill. lol :D ..

You can't use it on 98.:(

The question is why are u still on 98'? lol :)

Because I haven't received that new computer you're going to mail me.

you can have my old one but there is a nasty BSOD you need to get rid of lol. But it does run Win XP ( when it decides to work)
